Morrissey releases statement on postponed tour

Morrissey says it's hard to find the words to express the "sorrow" he feels after postponing yet another tour. In a statement released over the weekend, the singer confirms that his planned trek though South America has been put on hold due to a case of what he calls "corrosively toxic food poisoning."

Morrissey says he's since returned to Los Angeles, but his doctor assures him he'll be ready to head south again for the final portion of the tour starting in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 28th.

He's scheduled to play three shows in Brazil after that, but Morrissey has yet to reveal a plan to make up the eight postponed shows in Chile.
